People of Lemmy, what is the scariest paranormal experience you've had you can't explain at all? (lemmy.ml)

What it says on the title. Mine was when I was 12 and I lived in a very haunted house which had some weird activity going on, like things moving out of place and pets freaking out. I was sitting in the computer, alone in the house, and suddenly I see a shadowy figure on the screen, just some meters away behind me, thinking was my mom I turned around and there was nothing, but the room had turned extremely cold suddenly. There was nothing behind me that could have been this shadow.

One day I was working from home when around lunch time I just had this feeling that something was wrong. I couldn't explain it, just a sinking feeling in my stomach. But it was more intense than any I had felt before or since.

The next day I get a call telling me one of my friends from highschool had died in a jet ski accident. The crazy part was they think he crashed around the time I had that sinking feeling, but he wasn't discovered until the next day.

Your experience is like before something bad happens, a fight, or something malicious or traumatic..you can feel the room change. Everyone has experienced this I think. It's like a vibrational domino effect rippling across the membrane of infinite frequency. Everything seems separated to us, but it's really just one thing.

When my cat died in my arms the other day I literally felt a weird energy wash through my hands up my body and out of the top of my head. I knew she had died. I looked down and she was gone. I cried and cried and all I could think was how beautiful and crazy life, any experience at all, is.

I'm kinda super into this stuff lol

I'm so sorry your loss. But I think you're onto something.

We put our dog down last year and my wife used to work at the vet, so a bunch of her former co-workers were in the room comforting her. She was laying there peacefully but when she passed I just knew it happened. I was like everything in room frozen for a moment.

I tearing up just typing this and it's been a year. So, I hope you are doing okay.

I'm doing wonderful, thank you. Those moments are ones I've come to appreciate. You don't get many in this life. The true beauty of living can only be felt.

I'm happy you got to feel that just now. It's really nice isn't it?
